We have added the ability for anyone to 'bump' threads that they have created. This is mainly useful in the classifieds area where posters constantly bump for sale threads to bring it to the top. This allows them the ability to do that without having to clutter the thread with extra 'TTT' and 'Bump' type posts. To bump it, go inside your thread and click on 'Thread Tools' at the top, then select 'bump'. You can bump only once per 24 hour period.

Presenting one of the most visually stunning Royal Walnut blanks we'll (yes, all of us) ever see, and it comes with a guarantee. Blank Z is a little shorter than our regular cut at 18" long and is more than adequate for all shotgun applications. It is massive in the other measurements at 8 1/2 inches tall at the butt, 3 1/2" tall at the receiver and a full 2 7/8" thick. It has great colors, just the right amount of burl and the added bonus of a forest of highly animated black line stripe, all with a luminescent background that's littered with bees-wing fiddleback almost reminiscent of Myrtlewood.

Yes, I actually printed all that because it's all there. Dry and ready to work with a perfectly matching forend blank, this is one of very few that I'll ever call eye candy. Pictures follow:

Two views of the right side from different angles to show the "depth" of the shimmer behind the figure and stripe.

Two images of left side, which doesn't show as much black line. These were taken dry. Here's the guarantee: The black line stripe is just below the surface on the left side and will absolutely be there when this blank is shaped. I could have planed another quarter inch from the left side to unveil it, but chose not to to preserve the greater thickness of the blank. I'll document the guarantee to the buyer.

The burl patches are very symmetrical and the colors are awesome. Price for this set is $800.00 REDUCED ONE TIME TO $700.00 AND IS SOLD PRF and I'll pick up the shipping. First confirmation at the email address above will have bragging rights on this gem. I'll be taking this beauty to Sunnyvale R & GC in northern California on Friday morning and I'm pretty sure it won't come back with me. Best not to dawdle on this one.

I'll reduce this blank one time by $100.00. New price is $700.00 shipped and will not be reduced again. I can't believe nobody's asked me about the guarantee yet. I guess folks really do only look at the pictures.

First confirmation at $700.00 gets the blank and forend set and the guarantee!!
